A promoter for Lady Gaga’s show in St. Petersburg, Russia last December is being fined for violating a local law against exposing children to “harmful information” after a local resident claimed that her 13-year-old daughter was subjected to “an imitation of sexual intercourse between women and advocacy of alcohol consumption.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter, a St. Petersburg court ruled that Gaga promoted “alcohol consumption and homosexuality” during the show. The court will fine not Gaga, but the concert’s promoter, Planeta Plus, for violating a clause in Russia’s administrative code that states the promoter is responsible for the “protection of children from information that could harm their health and/or development.”
